This brings back so many fond memories

The Angry Clam who has gone from reporting on the insanity at UC Beserkly to commenting on the zaniness at my alma mater [Lex Communis, UCLAW Class of '83] has a post about the usual alphabet soup of empowered, balkanized and racially segregated law societies are engaging in the usual leftist agitprop.

Gather around, children, and listen to Grandpa tell you stories about what it was like to be at UCLA Law School back in the fall of 1980, just after Reagan was elected. The sun shone somehow brighter that fall, but it didn't take long for the same students who had been pooling their $5,000 student loans [guaranteed interest capped at 3%] to purchase $10,000 CDs [interest payments guaranteed at 12+%] to send the new Administration paper plates on which they wrote "President Reagan, don't make us choose between education and eating" when he wanted to means test eligibility for student loans.

And, then, I remember being in Con Law [Professor Karst, who was one cool dude for being an unmitigated liberal - and who gave your humble blogger the second highest score in that class for an essay that painted the evolution of First Amendment law as the economic product of the New Class] and reading the Jawhawk Democratic Club decision, which had held that the system which had let whites select a "white" candidate behind whom whites could pool their votes was unconstitutional, but at the same time the alphabet soup of minority law societies would get together to select their single candidate who would then paste the four or five non-minority candidates in their own version of a "whites only" primary, and nobody noticed the hypocrisy.

Ah, what fond memories of being the "only other conservative" at UCLA Law School. It makes me proud to see the Angry Clam carrying on a fine tradition.
